VANS, VANS, VANS. Got to love em.

Vans are alright. I do prefer Converse, however!

Oh, boy. Time to get carried away talking about fashion.
I'm just gonna repost the pics of my magnificent new coat here:

I always wear black ones. I got inspired by Tim McIlrath of Rise Against.

Vans never suited me

I have these cool Etnies (but I can't find a picture of them because I can't remember what they are/where they're from)

I wear band t-shirts & jeans pretty much any time I leave the house unless it's a dress up event. I describe my style as "15 yr old going to Ozzfest."

This was the last shirt I bought:

I love Vans i have one pair that i have had for about 6 years they are so worn but i just can't say goodbye, on another note the manager of my band brought a load of clothing to our video shoot from a company that offered to sponsor us and it was the worst collection of shit i have ever seen.

ahahahha you can't just start from armani, can you

The thing is i am kind of picky i can only shop alone or i get frustrated veeeery quickly , i buy Levis , Lee, Vans and band t-shirts and that is about it and if people suggest other things i get defensive especially as in the case of tonight lime green tshirts and beige button up SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS!!! And we all know Harbortown's view on those.

button up short sleeve shirts isn't as bad as a dress shirt (and maybe even a jacket) with jeans. now that's a bad look. can't decide whether to be casual or dress up? i dont care make a choice!

Better avoid those like the plague, or I will haunt you.

Mark my words, Holland, I will haunt you.

True, jeans and dress shirts don't go together as well as chinos and dress shirts do, but it's perfectly possible to pull it off.

It's just a matter of choosing plain colors and great fits.

stop scaring people john

i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then, my friend.

I will prove you wrong! Just you wait.

Like, a couple of days or so.

haha. i will see if you can change my mind...

I found a pretty kickass pair of boots yesterday. It was originally $50 and I got 'em for $20 cause they went on sale that day.

ETA: /scouring the internet for photos of the style of boots I got

Hate to interject into this whole conversation you're having with Harbortown here, but dress shirt and jeans are a great combination, but it's really dependent on the wash of the jeans and balancing the outfit. Take for example, a friend of a friend's (she's a really popular style blogger, actually /coolest story, brah) following outfit:



The jeans are dark enough to be used as dressier pants, and I think it works (and seemingly includes everything you said (dress shirt, jacket, jeans)). Or maybe I'm trying to rationalize my own fashion choices because I do button-ups and dark, dry denim all the time. Hell, I like to button up my blouses all the way and tuck them too. No regrets. I don't know, maybe I just really like the boy-meets-girl/tomboy aesthetic. Or I'm just a total hipster.

On another note, what does everyone think of street style blogs and photographers? I think it's a neat idea to get inspiration and all, but the fact that some bloggers (eg: Scott Schuman from the Sartorialist) are pulling $250000+ a year for taking pictures of someone off the street is kind of ridiculous. I've been asked a few times to have my picture taken and now I feel ripped off. I demand compensation!
